Do you have plans this morning? Never mind. Cancel them and clear your calendar. At 11:45 Eastern time, Will Smith is going to call the International Space Station on Instagram Live.

We’ve had the first tweet from space, and the first Skype video call from space and many other firsts. Today, Will Smith—host of National Geographic’s new show One Strange Rock—will connect with NASA astronaut Drew Feustel (@astro_feustel)—Expedition 55 Flight Engineer—for an Instagram Live discussion about space, music, and other topics. When Will Smith broke the news on his own Instagram(@willsmith) he also suggested that the topic of bodily waste—and how exactly that works (or doesn’t) in zero gravity—might come up.

According to his NASA bio page, Feustel is from Lake Orion, Michigan and has a PhD in Geological Sciences, specializing in Seismology. He is a veteran of two previous space flights—a Space Shuttle Atlantis mission in 2009 that was the 5th and final mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope, and a Space Shuttle Endeavour mission to deliver the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer and an ExPress Logistics Carrier to the International Space Station (ISS). He has spent nearly a month in space, with over 42 hours on space walks, and is currently part of the Expedition 55 crew that launched to the ISS in March.

The call is scheduled to take place this morning at 11:45 Eastern / 8:45am Pacific, and will be hosted on the National Geographic Instagram account—@NatGeo.

One Strange Rock

The whole idea of Will Smith calling an astronaut on the ISS in cooperation with National Geographic might seem odd if you’re not aware of the new show, One Strange Rock. Will Smith is the host of the new limited series, which premiered on March 26.

One Strange Rock explores important, deeply philosophical questions about the origins, evolution, and potential future of our planet. The 10-part series examines questions like “How special is Earth?” and “How has Earth survived so long?” and “Is there anyone else out there?”—telling the story through the perspective of astronauts who have had the singularly unique experience of viewing Earth from space.

Feustel is not one of the astronauts featured in the show, but this event will give Smith an opportunity to address some of these questions in real-time with someone who is experiencing life in orbit right this minute.

A recording of the Will Smith Instagram Live call with astronaut Drew Feustel will be available from National Geographic after the live broadcast. You should also check out One Strange Rock, which airs on Mondays at 10pm Eastern on National Geographic.
